about
Jan M. and Antonio collaborate here for the first time, delivering 4 tracks of dark ambient power electronics. Sinister and thought provoking.
Sound_00 is the experimental static drone project by Antonio Dimitrov, who is based in Skopje, Macedonia. Making music is the main focus of his hetic lifestyle, although he has many other projects that keep him busy. Antonio studys philosophy at university but is more occupied with his net/CDR label Acid Fake Recordings, and net fazine Fakezine ("a zine about contemporary experimental music and (sub) culture").
He also writes in several printed magazines, covering topics concerning art/digital art/design, hosts two radio shows and lends his talent to other labels as Acid Fake Design. Antonio also releases music under other alias' such as Every Kid On Speed (glitch, cut ups), Every Kid On Acid (darker ambient), microsound_00 (noise, static, sinewaves), as well as taking these various projects live he also DJs at club nights and parties.
Iversen (Jan-M. Iversen) based in Norway runs the TIBProd net/CDR label releasing his own music/collaborations and other artists from all over the globe.
Jan also has releases on other underground labels such as Carbon, Absurd, 1000+1 TiLt, Foxglove, Organic Pipeline, Kabukikore, MIR, First Person, Stop/Eject, Simlog, Brise-Cul, Mahorka etc. Many of these collaborating with Sindre Bjerga of Fibo-Trespo and The Gold Soundz-label. He is also active within the un-organization Origami Republika with units like Origami Minimalistika, Origami Klassika and Origami Maximalistika.
reviews
"On a different label, Iversen releases I believe his first piece of vinyl, a collaboration with Sound_00, aka Toni Dimitrov, aka Every Kid On Speed/Acid. They exchanged sound files back and forth and the first four results are on this 7" (other pieces to come on a compilation by Dirty Demos and on their website). Sound_00 provided some loud, gritty, laptop based music in the past, but perhaps it's the Iversen influence that keeps the noise reduced here.
The four pieces are excellent displays of microsound of a rather darker than dark nature, with occasional rhythmic elements and likewise bits of repeating noise.
Quite strong material."
- Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 626
"oooh lets check this 7" by Sound_00 and Iversen. Well, if you've ever wanted a record with minimal, spacious recordings from the depths of hell, in Siberia, then the 1st side of this record is for you. Like Satan's breath curling through a crumbling church at 3 0'clock in the morning. Or it could be at the wrong speed. Sinister.
More lovely fetid noise from Iversen. Scorched cortex industrial ambience. Someone dragging heavy sheets of cold steel through the soft mush formerly known as yr brain. With power electronics fascinating me increasingly in these dark days of the insipid generic indie cack.
I'd say if you like thought provoking sound & post music then give this inspired wax a try."
